Fallen Arches / Flat Feet

Hello Group,

I suffer from flat feet / fallen arches.  Can anyone suggest any exercises to help cure flat feet or would following the Foundation Series eventually fix my issues ?

Thanks,

Theodore Williams 

Front split series would be your best bet. I also recommend walking barefoot on gravel a few times a week.

Get rid of shoes that have positive heels.

Thank you both Seminole4 and Mark. i have the middle split series but i will invest in the front split and i have stop wearing shoes with heels .

In addition to the great advice above (particularly the Front Split course, which has some outstanding exercises for the feet.)

Lay a towel out on the floor and try to scrunch it up just using your toes. Can be done standing, sitting or supine.

I have some fallen arches myself and am wondering how the front split series helps? I should probably just get started on it right away but is there anything I should pay extra attention to?

Hansenator,

Go ask in the Front Split forum, man.

The first few exercises work the calf and intrinsic foot muscles. The intrinsic foot muscles are what gives you the arch.

I was looking it over last night and it looks like there's some great stuff in it. I think I'll start it this weekend.
